Molecular mechanisms in delirium and dementia
Det medisinske fakultet Universitetet i Oslo RESEACH SEMINAR Molecular mechanisms in delirium and dementia March 23, 2015, 13:00 - 17:35 University of Oslo, Institute of Basic Medical Sciences Domus Medica, Round Auditorium Delirium and dementia are major threats to the mental health of older people and major public health concerns. Delirium (also called "acute confusional state") develops rapidly as response to an acute somatic disorder, and the symptoms may be dramatic. Research from the later years has revealed that the prognosis of delirium is much more serious than previously anticipated, and a high fraction of delirium patients develop dementia. Dementia, on the other side, develops gradually and over years, and is a chronic disorder with devastating consequences for the individual, the family and the society. There are obvious clinical and epidemiological connections between delirium and dementia, but the pathophysiological mechanisms involved remains to be understood. We are very happy to announce this research symposium on delirium and dementia. Distinguished delirium and dementia experts from abroad as well as nationally will contribute. The research seminar will act as a starting point for our research program as well as an update of this important field for interested researchers and clinicians. Programme 1300 - 1310 Welcome.
